OK I've heard of Bar Rats but this is ridiculous...

I'd better be where I can Look AND Touch

From a review posted today about one of the lower-middle tier NOLA clubs:

"Reviewed on: July 5, 2014
Visited on: Sunday Afternoon
Dancers on Shift: 6-10

Star_Rating_3 Value
Star_Rating_3 Atmosphere
Star_Rating_3_Half Overall

Stopped by here a few weeks back. This was my second visit here. I was drawn back by a couple of girls who were very friendly and not pushy. The dancers are pretty diverse, when I was there it was about half black with a couple of Latinas and Asians mixed in with a good number of white girls. All of them were good looking, but nobody was super hot or too ugly. Drinks and lap dances are on par with the rest of Bourbon St. price wise. The layout has been explained in other reviews, but you should watch out for the rats in the restroom and VIP rooms in the courtyard. My mileage was excellent regardless."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop right there and back up, unflappable one: "...but you should watch out for the rats in the restroom and VIP rooms in the courtyard. My mileage was excellent regardless." Dunno 'bout y'all, and maybe it's just me who's a spoiled sybarite used to such luxuries as basic pest control, but if I'm running into RATS in the restroom and ESPECIALLY IN THE VIP ROOMS, that is going to kill any mood for enjoying "mileage": enough Cialis to send me into fibrillation is not going to bring back that lovin' feeling. I'm not going to have fun somewhere I'd worry about whether if I felt something tickling my ankle it may not be my dancer playing footsie, and in 2014 America maybe it should not be hantavirus or plague I should take measures against catching when paying for "VIP".

Then again at this and a couple other NOLA clubs the "courtyard rooms" were once upon a time the slave quarters or even the stables, so maybe I just can't appreciate the effort towards historic authenticity ;) .


Still and all the same, what would be that thing not related to the actual strip club functionality which IYO would, if encountered, mean "Welp, that's it, early to bed tonight."? Rats in VIP? Fire exit chained and padlocked? Travelers camping in the parking lot?
